Prolonged Exposure Therapy vs Cognitive Processing Therapy ~ ~ Dr. Paula Schnurr

In this crossover episode, Libby Bates talks with Dr. Paula Schnurr, executive director for the National Center for PTSD about the difference between prolonged exposure therapy versus cognitive behavioral therapy for veterans with PTSD. Prolonged exposure therapy focuses on helping a person get control over their traumatic memories to break the cycle. Whereas cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the thoughts of guilt and shame that often accompany the traumatic experience.
